I just read the post by the admin stating that mixers will be banned on the forum from January 1. Considering that mixers and casinos seem to be the biggest advertisers here, I foresee a drop in revenue for the forum. The way I see it, it implies that the government is still in charge of the direction Bitcoin moves. If they cannot control Bitcoin, they can move against the appurtenances of the cryptocurrency: mixers, exchanges, who knows... even this forum, etc. With the popularity of the USD dwindling, who knows what else could happen to Bitcoin, the challenger? What do you think?
"The Sanction On Mixers Would Make This Forum Boring" - bitcointalk was created for communication between
BTC-like-minded people, and not for advertising mixers. Do you somehow imagine the purpose of this forum differently or has thi forum really changed so much that it is associated only with a place for making money on signatures (mixer campaign's). Even if something like this happens that the forum becomes
boring (according to your version), then there will still be people here who want to discuss issues related to the bitcoin and a certain level of activity will be maintained.
If some advertisers leave, others will come. This is far from the worst thing. Even if there are no advertisers at all, the forum administration must have reserves (donations, etc.) to keep the forum in working order.
